    I am in the process of searching for this issue but thought I would also post my problem and see what you guys come up with. I have a 2004 5.4 Expedition and recently noticed that when the 4 wheel is engaged while on freeway there is a loud roaring or rumbling sound followed by a bad...

    Unhappy with discount tire

    I ended up purchasing a used sensor with valve on ebay. Paid $25 for it. Had it installed with no more issues. It is easy to suggest avoiding Discount Tire but I am sure like anything that there are some good apples and bad apples where ever you go. I definitely will not be going back to...

    2004 Exp. fuel gauge issues before and after fuel pump replacement

    This is what was shown on gauge the other day after putting in $10. Today I dropped $10 in it and the gauge read the same thing. After driving it for around 5 minutes and parking it and starting back up a few minutes later the gauge went up to almost 1/4 and read 80 miles DTE. One would...

    2004 Exp. fuel gauge issues before and after fuel pump replacement

    Thanks for your thoughts. I have not filled the tank yet. I drive an explorer also and it's a little more forgiving on gas so I haven't had much chance to drive it. I also haven't had enough money to fill it up. Lol. I would have to think the pump was replaced. I called them back and asked if...

    2004 Exp. fuel gauge issues before and after fuel pump replacement

    I have an odd situation with my gauge. I will start from the beginning.. About a month ago I needed to get gas. I was down towards empty and the guage reading said 15 miles DTE. I dropped $10 into the tank and left. I noticed my gauge reading said 8 DTE. My first thought was that the pump...

    What fuel pump are you guys going with?

    I priced out a Delphi pump at Napaonline and it came out to being $288.90. I found the same pump on RockAuto for $208.79. Looks like I will be going with this pump. I will have them put on a new filter as well. RockAuto lists a Motorcraft for $18.05. I do know that while talking to the...

    What fuel pump are you guys going with?

    Thanks for your thoughts. I would do the job myself but the truck stopped running around 15 miles from home and its sitting at a shop. Also, it has half a tank in it right now. Weird thing that happened last week, I was down at empty and I put $10 just to get home. I left gas station and the...

    Rattling Noise from Driver-Side Door

    I had the same exact issue with my Expedition. Except it was on the passenger side. I bought the truck and as I was driving home kept hearing a rattling sound. Pulled panel off and determined it to be the door lock lever. I used a thick piece of vacuum hose and stuck it in the round opening...

    What fuel pump are you guys going with?

    Well the fuel pump went out in my 2004 the other day. I know this because its sitting at a shop and they diagnosed it to be that. They want just under $800 for a new pump, filter, and install. I told them I would give them a pump because they wanted $408 for the pump. I am not sure what...

    Need to replace front brakes on my 04. Need some suggestions on where to get them.

    Anyone ever heard of Callahan brand? I see some on ebay on brake overstock that look like a decent deal. I remember having to take a sledge hammer to a set of rotors once. They werent wanting to come off.

    Need to replace front brakes on my 04. Need some suggestions on where to get them.

    What is odd is that the steering doesn't normally shake while going down the road. This occurrence has happened once where I was in traffic and after making a stop for 15 minutes I noticed the front shaking bad. It felt like the tires were out of round. It did this for a few minutes and then I...

    Need to replace front brakes on my 04. Need some suggestions on where to get them.

    Thanks for the suggestions. I probably wont be going with the drilled rotors anytime soon. I have to do this with a budget. Replacing the brakes on my Mustang was a lot cheaper.

    Need to replace front brakes on my 04. Need some suggestions on where to get them.

    Ive owned the Expedition for a little over a year now and I am finding that the front brakes are starting to go. I noticed the last time I pulled a trailer with some lumber that the rotors werent as smooth as before. They have been gradually getting worse and now the wheel shakes when I brake...

    EATC does not power up

    I found somewhere online that someone had a similar issue and had to unplug EATC to get it to work. I will try this later today. Hope it works.

    EATC does not power up

    Not sure if I should post this here or in electrical but I noticed today that my EATC does not power up. When the interior lights are on, the EATC does light up. Other than that, nothing... I thought I would check for fuses. After checking fuses I was more confused. First off, I check the...

    Look at what I found while performing an injector cleaning

    I found the stone after cleaning injector. It was wedged into the injector port. I had to use a tiny screwdriver and a tool kinda like a pick that a dentist would use. It was wedged pretty good. I did find the bottom of injector with some nicks around edge. Not sure how it got there but that...

    Look at what I found while performing an injector cleaning

    My expedition has had this sputter or stumble at idle since I purchased it back in March. I changed the plugs and this didnt help. It did help overall performance though. So today I decided to take the injectors out and use an injector tester I had to energize the injector and pressurize...

    Unhappy with discount tire

    Wanted to reply with an update.. My wife told me today that the rear tire looked low and the TPMS light is on. I check air pressure and it shows 20 lbs. I put new air in it and find air is leaking through the valve. I purchase a new valve to screw in and my tool will not attach itself to...

    2004 Navigation lcd display turns off and back on

    Ive decided to replace it. Just trying to decide what I want. To go nav or not. Ideally I would like something that will integrate my iphone but also have built in satellite and possibly hd radio. I have the cd changer so I may end up pulling that as well. Who knows. All I know is that...

    2004 Expedition 5.4 has hesitation at idle after plug change

    Thanks for your suggestions. I really didnt think about disconnecting the battery. I will try it this weekend. I thought about purchasing some seafoam and seeing if that helps any too.

    2004 Expedition 5.4 has hesitation at idle after plug change

    I would have replaced the COPS but I didnt have enough money. On the drivers side, I remember getting a little bit more anti seize on a plug. I wonder if some of it got close enough to the electrode. I have been dwelling on this possibility. My wife drives it to work every day and so I took...

    2004 Expedition 5.4 has hesitation at idle after plug change

    Well I did a plug change today. It really wasnt that bad. I let the air pressure out of front tires and it lowered probably 7 inches or so. Furthest plug in back on passenger side was the hardest to get to but wasnt impossible. Anyway, truck has 226k on it and as far as driveability it ran...
